What are Milia?

Milia are small, white or yellowish bumps that typically appear on the skin, particularly around the eyes, nose, and cheeks. They are caused by trapped keratin (a protein found in the skin) beneath the surface of the skin. Milia are common in newborns but can occur at any age.

What Causes Milia?

This condition is caused by a combination of factors. These factors include:
Milia are caused by keratin that becomes trapped under the skin. This can happen due to skin damage, such as from burns, blistering, or sun exposure, or from the use of heavy skin care products that clog the pores.
Milia often resolve on their own, but treatment options include gentle exfoliation, topical retinoids, or professional extraction by a dermatologist.
No, milia are benign and not harmful. They are primarily a cosmetic concern and do not require treatment unless they cause discomfort.
Preventing milia involves proper skin care, including regular exfoliation, avoiding heavy creams or products that clog pores, and protecting the skin from excessive sun exposure.
It’s not recommended to remove milia at home, as improper extraction can lead to scarring or infection. It’s best to seek professional treatment.
